Course syllabus
General structure of the human body. Terminology and anatomical coordinates. Classification of organs and their structural schemes. Corporeal spaces and cavities.
System and apparatus dissertation is divided into four parts.
1. Support and Movement: the integumentary system, axial and appendicular skeleton, the muscular system.
2. Integration and Control: the nervous system, the endocrine system, sense organs.
3. Maintenance: the circulatory system, the lymphatic system and immunity, the respiratory system, the digestive system, the urinary system.
4. Reproduction: the male and female reproductive systems, human development.
Close to the general structure of each system an apparatus, the course includes specific and interdisciplinary in-depth analyses that are pivotal to the study of human anatomy in secondary schools and that range from comparative anatomy to health education.
